Buck up, idiots. Today’s episode is almost guaranteed to make your next workplace screw-up seem a little less screwed up. We've done a lot of bad day at work episodes. That was the original working title for the podcast. Most of our episodes make you feel more grounded, and hopefully safer in your daily life. This one is more about making you feel better about phoning-in your work sometimes. 

This is not normally the podcast you play around kids.or while eating, but today’s episode is going to be different. No blood loss. No body count. What happens in today’s story is unbelievably dramatic, but no one gets their face lasered off, or turned into steam, or crushed to death or any of the horrible endings people face repeatedly through the history of this show. And the only screaming will be with fear and shock, not because lost a limb or watched a loved-one explode.

On this episode: you will learn that math is hard, that gravity don’t care about your feelings; you'll learn how to survive a fall without going to parachute school; and the best practices for outwitting a lake that is trying to eat you. All of that PLUS one of the biggest work place screw up stories of all time.

Celebrity guests include: Joe Jackson (not the one you’re thinking of); actor & listener of the show, Brad Pitt; and confounding magicians and TV personalities, Penn & Teller.

In 1917, job and housing markets in the UK were really blowing up.

On this episode: you will not hear me mispronounce Trinitrotoluene for half an hour, but I’ll probably mispronounce it anyway. You will also hear me describe people losing their heads. Or parts of their heads. Or limbs. Or lives. But definitely bowel control.

World War One was a real boom time across Europe, which can be easy to forget – unless you were near Silvertown after the war and your ears won’t stop ringing. This is the story of the single largest explosion to ever occur in the United Kingdom - which is saying a lot. Amazingly, because today’s disaster involved the military, no one heard about it for fifty years. It got a little hushed up for reasons of National Security, which doesn’t bring a lot of comfort to those left in its wake scratching their partial heads. It’s a perfectly gory example of the needs of the many vs the needs of the view in this explosive episode of Doomsday.

Of all the ways people throughout history have died while mining, todays will probably be the most “impactful”. We all want episodes that stretch the boundaries of what a vehicle accident can look like, and today fits that bill nicely. In advance, let me just say, you'll be better off taking the stairs when you've finished this story. 

On this episode: we recounts the most statistically-unlikely disaster in history, complete with TWO Safety Sections (I believe that is a first in our podcast's history), but you’ll also hear about people referred to as "gravy without lumps", and flesh described as "scattered". You’ll also hear about two Guinness World Records, and a celebrity cameo from Nelson Mandela himself. You’ll also learn the best possible way to survive a hypothetical free fall in an elevator, and one of those Safety Sections covers panic attacks. You know it's a bad day when we have to break out advice for panic attacks for the first time. 

It's always good to remind ourselves how much time we spend or waste worrying about your odds of dying from the random things. We always worry about the wrong things. Vending machines are more likely to kill you than sharks, and today's episode introduces a new danger you may not have worried about before, and I admit I'll be kind of implicit in unlocking it as a new fear.

Most people wouldn’t think a burp could kill you. By the time you finish this episode, you won’t be most people. Make sure your travel vaccines are up-to-date and don’t forget to pack a night mask and noise cancelling headphones in your carry-on because we are returning to Africa.

This episode has everything: fish farts, exploding lakes, tennis pro Vitas Gerulaitis, ancient African spirits, and a 0.0075% survival rate. You’ll also hear about people’s eyes popping out of their sockets while their skin blisters from within, and others who just drop dead like their strings were cut.

This is one of those episodes where you will also learn how to protect your family against the non-spoiler cause of this disaster, but very much left with feelings of “the Earth can do that?”. You’ll actually say that a lot. Especially once you have to start worrying about the ocean exploding. Sorry not sorry about the loss of sleep, but that is the show. I’ll make you safer – you figure out how to live with the on-going emotional consequences. You have been warned.

Back in the day before marketing appeared in washrooms, projected on buildings, geo-targeted to your phone and dragged on banners across the sky, people could raise brand awareness by simply blowing things up. This is the story of the worst marketing stunt in American history. 

With anything, like music or social media or free speech, no form of communication is inherently evil. It all comes down to what you do with it. What will the cast of today’s story do with it?

On this episode you will hear about skull fractures, eye gouges, steam burns, people playing catch with flaming metal and showers of boiling water. Celebrity cameos include human monster PT Barnum, Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens, and singer Susan Boyle

Massachusetts has never been the most friendly of States. From their baseball fans to their witch burners to their license plate motto writers there is a history of bitterness. Today’s story however, is going to be a little sweet.

This gets categorized more into the bizarre and awe-inspiring than forgotten, but the level of detail scooped here will make it feel fresh and new. No joke, this episode is such a complete and unconditional disaster which so little opportunity to escape or help yourself, you’ll find our actual help segment helpful, but not in the normal way.

On this episode is full of surprises. Like, what is the last part of a body fish will eat. The answer will surprise you And you’ll hear about a new take on the old cut-a-person-in-half magic trick. Celebrity cameos include Sir Isaac Newton - who once put a needle through his eye - and Usain Bolt - who dies terribly and unnecessarily.

We’ve talked about the Cold War before. But today we’re going to talk about a very cold war. Just sit back, slice open a Taun Taun, and let’s get into it.

We say the only value of any disaster is what can be learned to safeguard people in the future, but in this case it was very much a matter of people dancing on the lip of the volcano. We’re going to talk about a disaster so phenomenal it was erased from history.

On this episode we will describe shattered bodies with blue faces, people having their insides turned into their outsides, and pieces of people and equipment intermingled. I will also premiere a secret psychic force I’ve been quietly developing in my down time. Celebrity cameos include Franz Ferdinand and Utzi the Iceman.

According to the NTSB, airplane accidents have a 95.7% survivability rate, and normally that would be great news. Try telling that to the passengers on today’s episode.

As promised, we make our inglorious return with a welcome back minisode about the most unlikely plane crash of all time. A disaster so bizarre it actually became the worst case scenario in ICAO Aviation testing.

We are headed to Africa to answer the question: what has eighty teeth, bad breath, and sucks at flying.

We always endeavour to make you smarter and more aware in a way that could potentially save your life one day, but this episode is just bizarre, even by our standards.

Gratitude. Excrement. Explanations and Updates. This entirely tiny episode has it all!

This minisode is actually my quick and candid explanation for my absence from the microphone - but you’ll also get to hear a quick story about rich people drowning terribly, a few teasers about upcoming episodes, and my promise that we’ll be back on the air before you know it.
